pendent senators and q governor. The
general impression is that Dakota car

justly by them, no matter whether they

Hon. Pat Collins, Democratic member
from Massachusetts,, says: 1.-THE people
of Dakota are not suffering for division
admission. They have never formally
asked congress for anything. Their
movement is an unconstitu-
tional, rebellious, op~fnionated proceed
tor to the people by the territorial leyis-
lature is the first step In the right direc-
ton towards statehood. It is foolish to
say that the Democrats oppose admis-
sion because Dakota is Republican. Yet.
there has been no disposition on the
part Of the Democratic to assist the Re-
publicans in doing their duty. Now that
they are on the right tack there will be
no objection TO Dakota getting what she

Clifford and many others have talked Da-

They are all Republicans out there, but
they can be divided and admitted just a.

congress. Hitherto they have been ham

the United States, but 1t has not been
successful. Let the people vote on what
they want and tell congress officially,
and they will have their wishes complied
with, I believe"

YOU in your shack the congressman will
all be on the trains nearing home. They
will feel that they have served their
